<P>If it's wired for 16 volt, then yes.</P><P>There are two specifications for doorbell transformers. &nbsp;One is voltage, the second is power measured in VA (volt x amps)</P><P>Most doorbell transformers are 10VA, Ring recommends 30VA.</P><P>You can eliminate some problems by purchasing the 30VA now.</P><P><A href="https://shop.ring.com/collections/accessories/products/hardwired-transformer" target="_self">Here's a LINK</A></P>Sun, 10 Nov 2019 22:45:37 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Video-Doorbells/Ring-Video-Doorbell-Transformer-Compatability/m-p/5513#M1814Electromen2019-11-10T22:45:37ZRe: Ring Video Doorbell Transformer Compatabilityhttps://community.ring.com/t5/Video-Doorbells/Ring-Video-Doorbell-Transformer-Compatability/m-p/5514#M1815

<P>Hi - I have two ring video doorbells. &nbsp;The batteries on each seem to slowly drain (they are hardwired off the same transformer/doorbell). &nbsp;Is a 16V transformer (<SPAN>30VA) sufficient for two?</SPAN></P><P><SPAN><BR />David</SPAN></P>Wed, 11 Dec 2019 00:15:18 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Video-Doorbells/Ring-Video-Doorbell-Transformer-Compatability/m-p/9379#M3264davidh2019-12-11T00:15:18ZRe: Ring Video Doorbell Transformer Compatabilityhttps://community.ring.com/t5/Video-Doorbells/Ring-Video-Doorbell-Transformer-Compatability/m-p/9446#M3285
<P>Hi&nbsp;<LI-USER uid="14563"></LI-USER>&nbsp;- which Ring Doorbell are you installing?</P>Wed, 11 Dec 2019 15:39:13 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Video-Doorbells/Ring-Video-Doorbell-Transformer-Compatability/m-p/9446#M3285Jennifer_Ring2019-12-11T15:39:13ZRe: Ring Video Doorbell Transformer Compatabilityhttps://community.ring.com/t5/Video-Doorbells/Ring-Video-Doorbell-Transformer-Compatability/m-p/9456#M3291
<P>Hi -</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Both are Ring Video Doorbells. &nbsp;They are installed (approx 5 months now). &nbsp;They are hardwired - one on the front door, one on the side door. &nbsp;They are both connected to the same doorbell and transformer (that were there already). &nbsp;They&nbsp;both show as hardwired in the app. &nbsp;Unless I dial down the settings, however, the battery level drops slowly. &nbsp;I assume that this means I need a higher output transformer but wanted to confirm that.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>David</P>Wed, 11 Dec 2019 16:09:45 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Video-Doorbells/Ring-Video-Doorbell-Transformer-Compatability/m-p/9456#M3291davidh2019-12-11T16:09:45ZRe: Ring Video Doorbell Transformer Compatabilityhttps://community.ring.com/t5/Video-Doorbells/Ring-Video-Doorbell-Transformer-Compatability/m-p/9457#M3292
<P>And the existing transformer label says it's output is 16.5VAC and 37VA.</P><P>&nbsp;</P>Wed, 11 Dec 2019 16:16:34 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Video-Doorbells/Ring-Video-Doorbell-Transformer-Compatability/m-p/9457#M3292davidh2019-12-11T16:16:34ZRe: Ring Video Doorbell Transformer Compatabilityhttps://community.ring.com/t5/Video-Doorbells/Ring-Video-Doorbell-Transformer-Compatability/m-p/33899#M11130
<P>Can I use a&nbsp;</P><P>24V AC transformer that has a capacity of 30VA?</P>Thu, 14 May 2020 21:01:05 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Video-Doorbells/Ring-Video-Doorbell-Transformer-Compatability/m-p/33899#M11130quetal12020-05-14T21:01:05Z
